True or False? Did you know all of these? A chicken once lived without his head for 18 months. TRUE. His name was Miracle Mike. The owner fed him by throwing grain down his neck hole. We have more about Miracle Mike on our channel. Benjamin Franklin wanted the American national bird to be the turkey not the eagle. FALSE. Franklin criticized the choice of the Bald Eagle as America's bird because eagles are lazy. Franklin felt a bird with more honor should have been chosen. Turkeys can impregnate themselves. TRUE. This is a process called Parthenogenesis where embryos can grow without fertilization. It's rare in birds but it happens. It's also possible for plants, bugs, and some fish. Paul Revere yelled, "The British are Coming!". FALSE. Paul Revere was actually on a stealth mission and had to be as quiet as possible. He reported the British were coming but he did it quietly.

True or False? Did you know all of these? Sharks are older than trees. TRUE. Tree evolved during the late Devonian period, about 360 million years ago. Sharks were already here 40 million years before trees arrived. Sharks are older than trees. TRUE. Tree evolved during the late Devonian period, about 360 million years ago. Sharks were already here 40 million years before trees arrived. The next glass of water you drink probably contains molecules that passed through a dinosaur. TRUE. The water on earth today is the same water that's been here for 5 billion years. Because of our water cycle, there is indeed a chance that the water in your glass is the same water that thirsty dinosaurs were drinking millions of years ago. Walt Dinsey created mickey mouse. FALSE. Ub Iwerks, a friend of Walt Disney, created Mickey in 1928. Walt Disney stole the credit. A rhino's horn is made of hair. TRUE. Most animals are made of keratin. The same stuff that makes our fingernails. The rhino’s horn is actually hair that grows tightly packed and glued together.

Here are some facts about... farts. Only 1% of your fart actually smells. 99% of farts are odorless gasses like CO2, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and methane. That leaves 1% of the stinky stuff, hydrogen sulfide. Yeah, hydrogen sulfide is -- pretty rank. Most people fart about 20 times a day. If someone tells you they don't fart, they're lying. Question everything they say. Farts are fast. They zoom out at about 3 meters per second, or 7 miles per hour. Farts are warm. You know how you can see your breath when it's cold? Yeah, same thing happens down there. Women's farts smell worse than men's. Although women and men produce the same amount of flatulence, studies show that women's farts consistently contain higher concentrations of hydrogen sulfide — the stinky stuff. The animal that farts so much it affects the atmosphere? Termites. Yep, about 2% of global methane emissions come from termites. Farts can explode. Who doesn't love a tiktok of someone lighting their farts on fire? Turns out, your farts really ARE flammable. Two chemicals in farts, methane and hydrogen, are highly flammable, which is what makes it possible to create a small explosion if you hold a lighter up to your cheeks. Don't do that though. It doesn't matter how many views you get. It's not worth it. Certain foods make your farts smell worse. Sulfur rich foods like eggs and meat, break down and create hydrogen sulfide, which is the stinky stuff. The oldest joke in history is actually a fart joke. It's an ancient Sumerian proverb from 1900 BC that says, "Something which has never occurred since time immemorial; a young woman did not fart in her husband's lap." Vegetarians fart more than meat eaters. That's because of the beans. You know, the musical fruit? Beans contain carbohydrates made of molecules that are too large to be absorbed in our small intestine during digestion. So they skip the line and pass into the large intestine still intact. This leads to an increase in bacteria, which produces large amounts of hydrogen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide gas. Next time a vegan brags to you about not eating meat. Just tell them, "I know. I can smell you." Your butt can tell the difference between a fart and poop. The nerve endings in your rectum know if it needs to release air or -- stool. The only exception is when you have the runs. Liquid poop confuses the nerve endings. So, be careful when you squeeze. Holding in farts isn't harmful. You're not going to explode or anything or get sick. But sooner or later, that air's coming out. Probably when you're asleep and your spouse - is awake. Farting isn't gross. It's something a healthy human body does. So, next time you feel that pressure, don't be shy. Turn to the person nearest and dearest to you and say: "Hey honey, pull my finger."

True or False? Did you know all of these? True or false. You can swallow your tongue. FALSE. It's physically impossible to swallow your tongue. But it is possible to choke on your tongue and block your airway. Religious websites are more dangerous to your computer than adult websites. TRUE. The chances of your computer getting infected by a virus are 3X greater by visiting a religious website. If you spend a lot of time on adult websites, you have might have other problems that need to be addressed. Cotton candy was invented by a dentist. TRUE. William Morrison was a dentist who invented Fairy Floss, which was renamed cotton candy. It was invented in 1897 and has been supplying dentists with business ever since. Oysters increase libido. FALSE. Although oysters contain zinc which helps control progesterone levels, there’s no scientific evidence that Oysters put you in the mood.

True or False? Did you know all of these? Our fingernails continue to grow after we die. FALSE. It's just an illusion. After you die, the body shrivels up. With less flesh around our digits, nails look longer. Hemorrhoid cream can reduce puffy eyes. TRUE. Hemorrhoid cream contains chemicals that narrow blood vessels and reduces swelling. Not just back there, but everywhere. Napoleon was short. FALSE. Napoleon was about average height for the time. Somewhere between 5' 5" and 5' 7". He's been reported as being 5' 2" but the pre-metric French measurement was different than the English. He was about 1.7 meters tall or 5 foot 6. During the Salem witch trials, witches were burned at the stake. FALSE. A few were hung, but most of them died in prison. None were ever burned. We only use 10% of our brain. FALSE. We use our entire brain. Just not all at once depending on what we're doing.

PROOF THAT EVERYTHING - IS A SIMULATION (Including God) Is this reality? Well, we're experiencing ... something right now so maybe the better question is: *what* is reality? Could everything we see, everything we experience, everything that exists in our entire universe -- be artificial? Supporters of Simulation Theory believe that not only is it *possible* that we're living in a simulation; it's likely. And the more we look for evidence, the more we find. Philip K Dick believed deja vu was the simulation adjusting to new code. Many people experience The Mandela Effect, a or "false memory" shared by a large number of people. But the biggest clues of Simulation Theory come from science. Specifically: quantum mechanics. The only way the Double-Slit Experiment makes sense is if we live in a program. Quantum Entanglement also defies logic. Only our program would have the ability to defy the laws of physics - and the concept of time.

Crazy Coincidences 07 - The Why Files #shorts These things happened. When they filmed the Wizard of Oz, they wanted the Wizard to have a coat that looked elegant but worn-out. The wardrobe department bought one from a thrift store. While wearing the coat during the movie, the actor playing the Wizard found a note in one of the pockets. It was a label that said the coat belonged to L. Frank Baum. L. Frank Baum wrote the Wizard of Oz. Henry Zeigland decided to leave his wife. She was so upset that she took her own life. The wife's brother, out for revenge, shot Henry Zeigland in the head then took his own life. *BUT* the bullet had only grazed Zeigland and got stuck in a nearby tree. 20 years later, Zeigland was tried to remove the tree from his yard with dynamite. The explosion did destroy the tree, but also blasted the 20-year-old bullet out of the tree, across the yard, and into Zeigland's head. Killing him instantly.

THE BATTLE OF LOS ANGELES On February 25, 1942, at about 2:30 in the morning, the people of Los Angeles were jolted awake by the sound of air-raid sirens. The city was ordered to blackout and prepare for an attack. Searchlights sprang to life, frantically scanning the sky above the city for enemy aircraft. Finally, the lights converged on a single object. As frightened citizens stepped on to their porches and lawns to get a glimpse of the target, the sky erupted with hundreds of explosions of fire, smoke and steel. The Battle of Los Angeles had begun. ---- Thank you Patreon members: Jim H, Daniel M, Mauricio CT, EW Coffey, B Hendley, Stella R, Sal C, Dalton R, J Gasper, Aaron C, Jacob S, Christy & Erik A, Steve Spencer, Hockey, Kalmar, Moon Raker, Patrick I, Mikey2ky, Laura G, All CA Reptile Girl, Uncle Michael, B Ness, Robin Lotz, Grace Cupcake, Lost Pilot, S Victory, Trippy Trev, Miketpi, Aaron K, Manumelita N, Paul W 〰 🙏 SUPPORT THE WHY FILES 🙏 https://www.patreon.com/thewhyfiles (Fun, Free Perks!) 👽 BUY WHY FILES MERCH 👽 https://shop.thewhyfiles.com (Code: LIZZIDPEEPLE for 10% off first order) 💬 CHAT WITH US ON DISCORD 💬 https://thewhyfiles.com/discord 〰 🌐 OFFICIAL WEB SITE: https://thewhyfiles.com 🕵️ Submit a topic, suggestion or just say hi: 🕵️ https://thewhyfiles.com/tips 🎨 Have a product suggestion or want to design artwork for TWF? 🎨 https://thewhyfiles.com/merch 📸 BE A WHY FILES MODEL (and get free stuff!) 📸 Send a photo of you/family/friends watching TWF, 📸 wearing TWF gear, using TWF merchandise: 📸 https://thewhyfiles.com/wild 〰 🎧 THE PODCAST VERSION 🎧 https://thewhyfiles.com/podcast 〰 ⁍ TWF on SOCIAL (in order of importance) ⁍ https://www.reddit.com/r/TheWhyFiles/ ⁍ https://twitter.com/OMGTheWhyFiles ⁍ https://www.instagram.com/OMGTheWhyFiles ⁍ https://www.tiktok.com/@thewhyfiles ⁍ https://www.facebook.com/OMGTheWhyFiles 〰 🐠 BETTER CHANNELS TO WATCH: 🐠 https://www.youtube.com/c/HecklefishMoriarty 🤓 https://www.youtube.com/c/TheWhyFilesBackstage #unsolvedmysteries #unsolved #mystery

Crazy Coincidences 06 - The Why Files #shorts These things happened. On June 20, 1941, Soviet archaeologists uncovered the tomb of Tamerlane, a descendent of Genghis Khan. An inscription read “Whoever opens my tomb will unleash an invader more terrible than I.” They opened it anyway. Two days later, Germany invaded Russia. December 5, 1660: A ship sank in the Menai Strait off the coast of Wales. There was only one survivor: his name was Hugh Williams. December 5, 1767, another ship sank in the same place. 127 people died but one man survived. His name was Hugh Williams. On August 8, 1820 a picnic boat sank near the River Thames. There was only one survivor, his name was Hugh Williams. On July 10, 1940 boat sank off the coast of England. Only 2 people escaped: a man and his nephew. They were BOTH named Hugh Williams.

Crazy Coincidences 05 - The Why Files #shorts These things happened. Jennifer Bricker was born without legs and put up for adoption. Despite having no legs, Jennifer develops a love for gymnastics and idolizes Olympic gymnast Dominique Moceanu. Jennifer has posters of Dominique on her walls and watches all of Dominique's events on TV. One day, Jennifer's parents come across her adoption papers. Jennifer is the sister of Dominique Moceanu. In 1895, there were only two cars in the entire state of Ohio. Somehow, they crashed into each other. Then there were no cars. The seemingly meaningless sentence “Here was I like a psalm” is an anagram for “William Shakespeare”. But is it really meaningless? In Pslam 46, the 46th word from the beginning is “shake,” and the 46th word from the end is “spear.” Know how old William Shakespeare was when the King James Bible was published in 1611? 46.

Crazy Coincidences 04 - The Why Files #shorts These things happened. Walter Summerford, was struck by lightning. Six years later, he was struck by lightning again. Six years after that, struck by lightning again. He died two years later, but four years after that. So six years after his last lightning attack, his grave was, you guessed it, struck by lightning. Electric bones! In 1938, a baby fell out of a fourth floor window and onto a man sweeping the street named Joseph Figlock. They were both injured, but survived. A year later, the same baby fell out of the same window and was caught by the same guy: Joseph Figlock! Is that a coincidence or bad parenting? Mark Twain was born on the day of the appearance of Halley's Comet in 1835. In 1909, Mark Twain himself predicted he would die when the comet reappeared. He said, "I came in with Halley's Comet in 1835. It's coming again next year and I expect to go out with it." Was he right? He was right. Halley's Comet returned in 1910 and Mark Twain died a day later.

Crazy Coincidences 03 #shorts These things happened. In the year 2000, the Simpsons predicted that Donald Trump would become president. 16 years later, this prediction became true. The Simpsons predicted all kinds of things that came true like Sigfried and Roy's tiger attack, the Game of Thrones finale, and Disney buying Fox. 20 years before it happened. The first soldier killed in World War 1 was John Parr. The last soldier killed was George Edwin Ellison. Though 40 million people died during the war, these two soldiers are buried in the same cemetery, 15 feet apart. The Devil Flight! Finnair flight 666 departed from Copenhagen and landed in Helsinki (known by shortcode HEL). The day of the flight was Friday the 13th. In October. In 2001, a 10-year old girl named Laura Buxton released a red balloon into the sky. On the balloon, she had written "Please Return to Laura Buxton". The balloon landed 140 miles away and was found by another girl. That girl's name was also Laura Buxton.

According to a German historian, the year is actually 1724. He says our calendar is a lie and a big chunk of the Middle Ages never happened. Which says that back in 1000 AD, there was a conspiracy between the church and the Holy Roman emperor to change the calendar. The years 614 through 911 were completely made up. Those 300 years just didn't happen. So all that history you learned about Charlemagne and the middle ages. Completely fabricated. In fact, the theory says that Charlemagne was specifically designed as propaganda to support the calendar change. To give the emperor and the pope more power. Sounds crazy? Well, there may proof.

CHASING THE IMMORTAL COUNT The Count of Saint Germain has been called a prophet, a sorcerer, and an immortal. He's been spotted all over the world for a thousand years. And every time he's seen, he looks exactly the same age. The Count of Saint Germain advised Kings, Queens and Emperors. He was present at every significant event in European history. And even was an important contributor to America's struggle for Independence. He spoke a dozen languages fluently. He played piano and violin like a virtuoso. He was an expert in art, science, politics, philosophy and history. Some say he walked the earth during the time of Christ. Some say he walks the earth still.

Is time travel possible? According to physicists, yes. Time travel *to the future* is not only possible, it's been scientifically proven. But what about traveling to the past? Well, that's a little trickier. BUT, there does seem to be evidence that travelers from the future have visited us in the past; and may be among us right now. The human race has been fascinated with traveling through time ever since, well, ever since the human race understood what time was. But has time travel been achieved by future humans? And if so, did they leave us clues that they were here? We've scoured the internet for the best time travel stories we could find. You may know some of them. Some are hoaxes. A few have been debunked. But there are a couple of stories that defy explanation. Why are we so obsessed with time travel? Probably because we're obsessed with time. Time rules our lives. Who doesn't wish they could go back and talk to our younger selves, or meet our ancestors, or witness historical events. Time creates possibilities; but time also *ends* possibilities. It's finite. When a moment is over. It's over. There are no second chances. The expression "time is money" isn't exactly true. Time is much more valuable than money. Wealth can be made; lost and made again. But time? Once we lose it, we can never get it back. Time is the most valuable thing you have. Spend it wisely. ---- CONTENTS 00:00 - Is there evidence of time travel? YES. 00:23 - Logo.

For 600 years the Voynich Manuscript has stumped scholars, cryptographers, physicists, and computer scientists. Now, a researcher in Germany has claimed to have finally decoded the most mysterious book in the world. The Voynich Manuscript is a 240-page medieval codex written in an indecipherable language, full of bizarre drawings of strange plants, astrological symbols and... lots of... naked women. The Voynich Manuscript defies classification and has also defied comprehension. Cryptologists, FBI operatives, respected medievalists, mathematic and scientific scholars, skilled linguists... they've all been left stumped. Even Alan Turing took a crack at it and came up short. It's written from left to right and although it's never been "officially" deciphered, there's definitely a structure to it. Researchers have concluded that the language has 20 to 25 distinct letters but nobody has been able to figure out how the letters fit together. According to cryptanalyst Elizabeth Friedman in 1962, anyone who attempts to translate it is "doomed to utter frustration." Let's find out why. ---- SUPPORT THE WHY FILES https://www.patreon.com/thewhyfiles ---- OFFICIAL https://thewhyfiles.com ---- SOCIAL Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheWhyFiles/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/thewhyfiles Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/OMGTheWhyFiles Twitter: https://twitter.com/OMGTheWhyFiles TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewhyfiles Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OMGTheWhyFiles Discord: https://discord.gg/jKEKzHDUgf ---- GREAT BOOK CHANNEL https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6pFlIgYnxW25m9z0NxlWPA #Voynich #Manuscript #Science #VoynichManuscript #Solved #Decoded #History #Documentary #Voynich Manuscript #Revealed #Solved #puzzle #conspiracy #Codebreaking #Beinecke #Mysterious Manuscript #Manuscript Decoded #Voynich Decoded #Voynich Revealed #Weird #Comedy #Amazing #Facts #Bizarre #Funny #Brain #Mysterious #Learning #Discovery #Brainy #TheWhyFiles

NUMBERS STATIONS. Not a relic of the past. Intelligence agencies use shortwave to communicate with spies, agents and assets in the field. Right now. Today. Let's listen to a few and learn how to tune in from home -- for free. Since World War One, numbers stations have been transmitting coded messages to spies around the world using shortwave radio. And they're still transmitting right now. We're going to listen to a few in this episode. These transmissions sound strange to casual listeners. But to the right set of ears, they contain information that could change the course of history. In fact, numbers stations *have* changed the course of history. Countless numbers stations are on the air right now -- for what purpose, few really know. And the people that *do* know? They aren't talking. They're essentially pirate stations -- operating illegally. But, nobody shuts them down. And no government acknowledges they even exist. Let's find out why. ---- CONTENTS 00:00 - Numbers Stations Exist, Listen Now 00:44 - Logo 00:49 - Welcome to The Why Files 01:03 - Shortwave, Tools of Spies 01:42 - The Lincolnshire Poacher, Cyprus 02:14 - Swedish Rhapsody 02:44 - Yosemite Sam Station Located 04:16 - What Are Numbers Stations? 06:19 - Old Technology Still Valid 06:39 - Skywave, Skip Propagation 06:52 - Global Transmission 07:43 - Broadcasts Vary 08:11 - Cherry Pie Number Station 09:13 - Encryption and Codes 09:45 - How a "One Time Pad" Works 11:40 - Illicit Uses of Shortwave 12:25 - Recent Spies Caught 13:27 - Listen to Numbers Stations Online 14:55 - Future of Numbers Stations 15:51 - Thanks for watching! ---- Tinfoil hat stories: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaEJLf99gDO7TqgO2kSwsg6GYPJHEjJm9 Weird Science: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaEJLf99gDO7mptVmIwFDM78AU-NzxLyM Science Science: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaEJLf99gDO4mMg-X8wVW5yBfKW6LBbLa ---- SUPPORT THE WHY FILES https://www.patreon.com/thewhyfiles ---- OFFICIAL https://thewhyfiles.com ---- SOCIAL Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheWhyFiles/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/thewhyfiles Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/OMGTheWhyFiles Twitter: https://twitter.com/OMGTheWhyFiles TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewhyfiles Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OMGTheWhyFiles Discord: https://discord.gg/jKEKzHDUgf ---- CHECK OUT HECKLEFISH'S CHANNEL https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCj9k-wwqNm_rNKJQ2nuAP5w ---- LIST OF NUMBERS STATIONS https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php?board=7.0 NUMBERS STATIONS LIVE https://priyom.org/number-stations/station-schedule ONLINE TUNERS http://jp7fso.proxy.kiwisdr.com:8073/?f=17451cw http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/ MORSE CODE DECODER https://morsecode.world/international/decoder/audio-decoder-adaptive.html CONET PROJECT ONLINE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIH7cG3YmIo ---- SOURCES and FURTHER READING http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jan/15/married-pair-russian-spies-germany http://www.radioworld.com http://lifehacker.com/5961035/how-to-listen-to-real-spy-broadcasts-right-now https://archive.org/details/ird059 http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=3202088 http://www.salon.com/1999/09/16/numbers_2/ http://users.telenet.be/d.rijmenants/papers/cuban_agent_communications.pdf http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A35647-2004Aug2.html http://web.archive.org/web/20010221161138/http://www.miaminewtimes.com/issues/2001-02-08/kulchur.html http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-24910397 http://www.frieze.com/issue/article/spying_by_numbers/ #science #mystery #espionage #numbers stations #number stations #cold war #transmissions #short wave #shortwave #radio #spectrum #tools #online #secrets #mysteries #mysterious #secret agents #code #field agent #one time pad #otp #skywave propagation #spies #spying #espionage #cod war #communication #codes #encryption #cyprus #lincolnshire poacher #spanish lady #swedish rhapsody #the bored man #audio
